“Our wedding day at Rainforest Gardens was everything I had hoped for and more!

As soon as I arrived to the venue on my day, I felt my wedding come alive as I saw all of my guests seated around the amphitheatre for the ceremony. Every single guest commented on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. Our ceremony was more beautiful than I could of imagined and everything played out perfectly! When I walked into the reception, I was just wowed at how beautiful everything was set up and matched my vision exactly. It was the perfect ambience on our special night.Adeline was a delight to work with and was so professional and organised right from the start. She was so helpful in helping to plan my wedding & answered every single one of my countless emails.Rainforest Gardens Florist, was super helpful and turned my dream bouquets into a reality.The venue is even more amazing than the photographs and I would highly recommend Rainforest Gardens as a wedding venue! Thanks again guys for such an unforgettable, beautiful day.”

"Rainforest Gardens was an incredible setting for our wedding. The grounds are stunning and unique. As soon as I saw the pavilion, with its view over the bayside, I knew it was the place for us. One of the first comments we got from our guests was how amazing the food was. The cocktail menu was delicious and full of variety, and everyone was full. Adeline was incredibly helpful, quick to reply to our emails, and accommodating of our wishes. We paid extra for the wedding coordinator package, and it was the best money we spent. Having Adeline coordinate and set up our day, being on call should anything go wrong, meant my family and friends could relax and enjoy the day with me.I highly recommend Rainforest Gardens!"

"Absolutely amazing wedding venue and extremely affordable prices - pictures don't do it justice. Adeline (venue owner) was there with Zoe and I for every step of the process and was incredibly friendly and helpful. The big day couldn't have gone any better. If you are looking for a wedding venue I urge you to make an enquiry here - I've been to many weddings and this venue has to be the cream of the crop. You can even see Straddie from the reception pavilion."​

"The day was nothing less than magical!!I pictured a beautiful day but this was even beyond my imagination.Right from the beginning Adeline was always so responsive, nothing was too much and this showed on the big day! She kept everything cruising along all with big smiles. From greeting me and my parents out of the car with umbrellas as I stepped out into heavy rain then to adjusting my dress. She was simply wonderful and so accommodating. She was very organised, responsive and clear along the way and is a necessity to have in the planning process.

Belinda, the florist - what a gem! She was so easy to work with. I could have never imagined how beautiful those florals would be and how she arranged them was just......breathtaking! She went above and beyond in service.

The venue - Once we stepped back in the car after the first viewing, we knew that was the spot! There is a preserved energy that is held in this space which we were drawn to and felt then and on the day!!! I must admit, we were a little worried about the wet weather plan for the amphitheatre but in the end, we organised a marquee the day before and it looked beautiful. Lucky we did because it did rain but the photos loved the rain!!! Nothing could dampen the day for us.

The view of the reception is just amazing. The venue was complimented with some styling which was quite breathtaking. Styling by Diane at @positivespacestyling was incredible! With only a few meetings the styling team took care of all the details. I'm so glad I outsourced this task because it's all in the details. Guests still talk about the finer details on the tables and decorative backdrop we had.

The food - A big Italian family. There was a bit of pressure here, it needed to be on point! Hubby and I are such big foodies and had a particular style of menu in mind which Tanya and the team were able to accomodate for. Everyone loved the food, they all left happy and satisfied, there were no complaints (which can be unsual for a wedding)

I really couldn't fault the day, It was truly magical. That word reflects the day perfectly!!

My hot tips for the next couple planning their day here: + Outsource the most time consuming tasks!+ Have the guests eating dinner as the sun is about to set so they can enjoy that view!!+ Schedule 15 mins in the timeline with your hubby/wife to be and visit the reception area to take it all in before your guests arrive. + Then greet your guests on the way up with a cocktail!"

​"We can't thank Rainforest Gardens enough for providing us with the wedding of our dreams. The backdrop was stunning, the food was extraordinary and the service by Adeline, Nick and the team was unparalleled. When it began to rain during our ceremony, they were quick to hand out umbrellas and ensure that our celebration was not dampened! Adeline was right there to carry my veil/train while walking through the forest and driving the 4WD Ranger up the mountain for spectacular photo vantage spots. We are so grateful to have had this amazing venue and our guests were very appreciative too, especially when the pork entree was served. 5 stars does not seem enough for this all-in-one wedding venue!

"If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Adeline and the team at Rainforest Gardens are exceptional. We planned our whole wedding from Canada and they made it so easy for us. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and everything ran smoothly. The beautiful and lush venue comes to life for events and is nothing short of magical for a wedding. The new pavilion has wow-factor and all of our guests were amazed by the stunning views over the bay, all while watching the sunset. Belinda, the florist is wonderful too and will make sure your flowers and arrangements are premium and stunning. I couldn't speak more highly of Adeline, Nick and the team at Rainforest Gardens who seamlessly work hard behind the scenes to ensure your special occasion is perfect. THANK YOU Rainforest Gardens! x "

"12 months ago we finally decided to get serious about setting a date for our wedding after a 10 year engagement. We were recommended the Rainforest Gardens by a family friend and we instantly fell in love with it. Planning a wedding always seemed overwhelming, but we just loved the fact that we could have our dream day all in the one place, and the price covered everything we needed. Both Nick and Adeline were so wonderful to deal with and the day couldn't have been more perfect. Endless photo opportunities, alpacas, beautiful food and a spectacular view! The whole day was stress free and all our guests have told us how much they loved the venue just as much as we did. Hopefully we are lucky enough to attend another wedding there one day so we can relive our special memories of the most perfect day. Thank you so very much, Phil and Bec King xx”

★★★★★5 star rating"A massive thank you to Rainforest Gardens for hosting our wedding. Everything about the venue exceeded our expectations and the feedback we got from everyone was great. The flower arrangements were fantastic and we were able to have a lot of decorations with the budget allotted.

We hired the ranger and would recommend everyone else do the same. We were able to head up to the top of the mountain for sunset photos and this wouldn't have been possible without it. We were concerned about the venue being too cold in July. The heaters provided were more than enough and everyone had a fantastic time. I couldn't recommend Rainforest Gardens enough!"

★★★★★5 star rating​Gotta say, this place is amazing! It is such a hidden little gem! None of our guests had ever heard of it, and by the end of the night they couldn't stop raving about it.

From the get-go, you are surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens. Even though you are outdoors, the space felt so private and intimate - exactly what we wanted! Not to mention the view! We genuinely didn't want to leave.

The food was fantastic, so many positive comments from all our guests! Belinda, the florist, wove total magic with her styling (the presentation was perfection, and they smelt amazing!!). The staff throughout the evening were attentive and helpful, ensuring our guests were happy and comfortable.

Adeline and her team surpassed our expectations, and kept things running smoothly from start to finish. Book a visit - you won't regret it.

There was not a thing we could fault. Every single person commented on how beautiful our wedding was and we are so grateful to Adeline, Nick and all of the staff for everything they did on our Wedding day and leading up to it. Adeline made everything so easy, no question was too big or too silly, we couldn't have asked for a better venue coordinator. We will cherish our special day for the rest of our lives, it feels as if we lived a fairytale. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!!

I would recommend the rainforest gardens to everyone! The venue, the staff, the food and the atmosphere were incredible! Every single person commented on how beautiful it was.

★★★★★5 star rating​"We had our wedding at the Rainforest Gardens, Mount Cotton in mid-September, 2016 and were blown away by the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of atmosphere, scenery and locality. Adeline and Nick are truly lovely people who go above and beyond to make the planning and running of your special day so wonderfully stress-free and enjoyable. As a wedding venue we couldn’t fault anything. We had our ceremony, photo session and reception all there as there was definitely no need to go anywhere else, it was the perfect location for everything. Adeline and Nick, along with their wonderful staff and venue played a huge part in the success of our wedding. The amount of guests who are still talking about the venue and that have mentioned to us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, is testament to that."

I felt like everyone had an area to chill and chat, if they wanted food there was an allocated sheltered area with a chandelier & the children were able to go feed the animals which was incredible. I would recommend this venue to anyone who would like to personalise their event exactly to their style, because here you can & it will definitely drop jaws and have people talking about it."

From the time of booking to the day of the wedding the Rainforest Gardens had been renovated beyond anything we could have imagine. The venue is maintained with so much love and integrity which is felt throughout. Adeline the venue co-ordinator was a true delight to work with and extremely organised. So pleased this gorgeous venue is part of our everlasting memory."
